Hafod Lwyfog

2 unit plan with central service room. The interior retains its primary stopped-chamfered beams and grooved joists, and the original post-and-panel partitions survive substantially intact, most with grooved decoration to the external faces and around openings. The ground floor has a small entrance lobby with post-and-panel partitioning and a (former) pantry beyond; this has an open upper section, above its partition, with turned balusters. To the L of the lobby is the former hall. This has a large end fireplace with stopped-chamfered bressummer; slate-flagged floor. In the corner is a part-enclosed early C19 dog-leg stair of grained pine with elm treads and risers. The former parlour, to the R of the lobby, has a C19 pine door with re-used C17 decorative iron hinges. Ovolo-moulded cross-beam inscribed ELL/E 1638 (Evan Lloyd edificavit) and a plain, contemporary plaster shield above a C19 fireplace. In the L corner of the gable end is a fine wide stone newel stair, giving the primary access from the parlour (unusually) to the first floor. In the opposing corner is a further, early C19 pine dog-leg stair within a wall recess; this probably occupies the space originally taken by the privy cupboards on both floors. All four post-and-panel partitions survive to the first floor, with primary openings and mostly original boarded doors with plain ironwork. A further section of partitioning hides the stair access. The main end chambers have similar shields in relief plasterwork above their fireplaces; these were presumably originally heraldically polychromed. Further ovolo-moulded main beam to the chamber above the parlour (R). Four-bay primary roof with pegged oak collar trusses, 2 with segmental doorway heads cut out of the collars.

Sub-medieval storeyed end-chimney house. 2-storeyed, 3-window range. Of rubble with whitened facade, on boulder foundations and with renewed slate roof; flush end chimneys with weathercoursing and plain capping. Off-centre entrance (to R) with ovolo-moulded doorframe head (replaced sides) and a C20 boarded door with decorative ironwork. To the R of the entrance are two C19 4-pane sashes in original openings; to the L is a 2-pane sash in a small, primary opening, with a tripartite sash window beyond (a modern replacement of a late C19 original). The first floor has three plain C19 sashes, all in primary openings, with two further, blocked openings; slate sills throughout. Slate-stepped access to basement room (former dairy) to the R of the entrance. Horizontal 4-light C19 window to the ground-floor rear. The first floor has a 2-light mid C19 casement to the L, with metal lattice framing. At the centre is an original 6-light wooden mullioned and transomed window with plain glazing; further plain glazed window to R. Adjoining the house to the R is a single-storey, 2-bay C19 cartshed. Construction as before, with plain dividing pier between the bays; lattice window to the R gable end.
